  Wasn’t Napo basically screwed because the summer before was so hard on their resources that they just didn’t have enough left to pull through the winter?

  Context: both Hitler and Napoleon when trying to take on Russia, both miscalculated the Russian winter, while the natives kept retreating to grind the invading armies down.
